Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The 6th Brigade of the 3rd Cavalry Division of the 1st Kazan Army and the 10th Infantry Division of the 2nd Kazan Army are left as the White Guard general reserve to guard the base camp in the northwest corner!

    The two newly formed Kazan armies on the offensive side have a total of 22 artillery batteries and 132 76mm mountain field guns. Compared with the cannons of at least 30 artillery batteries of the 10th and 8th Army of the Soviet Red Army deployed by the defenders, they do not have an advantage.  Insufficient firepower is also a pain in Kolchak's mind. However, the Volga Federation has stopped providing artillery and heavy machine guns to Kazan on the grounds that Russian artillery and machine guns are no longer in stock, and as a de facto neutral party, after refusing  While Soviet Russia placed arms purchase orders, it could not openly continue to provide arms to Kazan.  §êw§ëFirst, 138 reading books

    Even the supply of food has dropped a lot than before. The Volga Federation's reasons are also very good. Wu Peifu's Southern Front Army has just concluded the North Caucasus Campaign, and Utsunomiya Taro's Southwest Front Army has just launched the Ukraine Campaign. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have eaten.  Horse chews still have to feed the federal population of more than 10 million, and there is no surplus food in the logistics warehouse of the Allied Eastern Front Allied Forces.

    July 31, 1918, 6:00, battlefield west of Simbirsk

    The moon that rose just before dawn made it still a dark night. Because it was a plain area, the Soviet Red Army retreated south quickly and efficiently. At six o'clock in the morning, Gidis led the 37th and 38th infantrymen.  , 39th and 40th Divisions with nearly 50,000 troops have withdrawn to a position less than 30 kilometers away from Kuznetsov. The 13th, 15th and 16th Infantry Divisions of the 8th Army led by Political Commissar Klyuyev, as well as the 13th, 15th and 16th Infantry Divisions, were dispersed.  Half of the troops of the 12th Infantry Division, which had gathered in, had successfully withdrawn to the vicinity of Kuznetsov's railway line.

    Of course, the whole army marched more than 30 kilometers in the dark for four hours with only a few torches. They were all tired and sweating through their uniforms. The sequelae of forced marches were every time  The rest time is getting longer and longer. Fortunately, the route to retreat south is the route to the north. There is no dilemma of unfamiliarity with the place. The Soviet Red Army soldiers only carried weapons, ammunition and food, and threw away everything else that could be carried lightly.  Lose.

    When they evacuated north of Tsaritsyn, more than half of the pots, pans, tables, chairs, stools, cupboards, tents, bedding, and other household items brought out by horses were thrown on the land on the left bank of the Volga River. The withdrawal of the Soviet Red Army was in vain.  It was inevitable that local people in villages, towns and small towns near the march route would be alarmed, and the fleeing crowds would inevitably reappear just like they did when they retreated north from Tsaritsyn.

    Fortunately, more local Soviet Russian people have chosen to resign themselves to their fate, or simply go east instead of south. Going east is directly to Syzran, which now belongs to the demilitarized buffer zone designated by the Volga Federation. It is the local people who are responsible for public security.  Spontaneously organized National Guards, and the special offices of the Volga Federation in the non-military buffer zone can be seen everywhere. From time to time, warehouses are opened to provide relief. Although the free food distributed is limited, the foreigners who live here can still queue up and receive one grain every day.  Small piece of brown bread.

    Just after 6 o'clock in the morning, more than one coalition air force dh4 reconnaissance bomber appeared in the sky over the demilitarized buffer zone on the left bank of the Volga River. In twos and threes, they began to conduct reconnaissance according to their respective patrol areas Of course, for the ground  The deterrent effect brought by the Soviet Red Army and White Guards is obvious. "Beiyang 1917 751 Second Artillery Bombardment" was a spectacle that could only appear on the banks of the Volga River in 1918.

    On the battlefield, the Soviet Red Army and the White Guard were fighting to the death, but almost no one dared to fire at the low-flying Allied Allied Air Force reconnaissance planes overhead. No one was uncomfortable with that, even though Kolchak and the Soviet Union  Regardless of the aspect, they all categorically believe that they are the masters of the Volga River, but obviously at this time, the situation is stronger than others. The sky over Soviet Russia and Kazan does not belong to these two regimes, but to the Eastern Front of the Allied Powers.  Air Force aircraft.

    Just like a stopwatch, the 4th and 5th Cavalry Divisions of Kolchak's 1st Kazan Army were led by division commanders Andrei Andreevich Pyatov and Vladimir Vik respectively.  Under the leadership of Movich Bayramov, they left the demilitarized buffer zone and advanced northwestward. Hundreds of lightly and seriously wounded soldiers from these two Cossack cavalry divisions were left in the health team camp set up in the demilitarized buffer zone.  and the Volga Federal Defense Forces all treated prisoners preferentially, not to mention that Kazan and Samara were not in a hostile situation, so the lightly and seriously wounded White Guards who had been disarmed were not the objects of being disarmed and raped, right?

    The 2 "Beiyang 1917" Cossack Cavalry Division, which was not full of personnel, had almost 18,000 cavalry, and headed northwest with the rumble of horse hooves. At this time, Simbirsk was nearly 60 kilometers away to the northeast of their position, and the Soviet Union  The Russian Red Army's northern defense line is about 25 kilometers northwest of this cavalry division.

    After leaving the demilitarized buffer zone, Pyatov led nearly 9,000 cavalry from the 4th Cavalry Division to the northwest, while Bayramov led the 5th Cavalry Division and turned due west, targeting the Soviet Union.??The headquarters and artillery array behind the Red Army's northern front position

    When returning from the demilitarized buffer zone, except for the coalition dh4 reconnaissance bombers that passed by at low altitude and fired warning shots on the east side of the White Guard cavalry column, there was no expected interception team of the Soviet Red Army. Piato  Husband and Bayramov were both a little surprised when they heard the news from the vanguard regiment. The Soviet Red Army was chasing them so hard last night, and the day after tomorrow, it was at least 2 to 3 infantry divisions strong. Could this be possible?  All the children flew into the sky and disappeared?

    The field fortifications and machine gun bunkers left on the ground temporarily dug by the Soviet Red Army last night were even vividly visible. There were also many broken military boots and thrown away pots and jars, but not a single person was missing!  The two division commanders ignored the surprise and urged the brigade to rush towards the northern and western fronts. At this time, the rumbling sound of artillery could be heard faintly from the north, but it was still far away. Judging from the movement, it should be Lord Hastings's artillery.  An artillery bombardment had been launched against the enemy.

    No matter how long Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov can fight, the Kameshin 1st Infantry Division commanded by him, as the new ace main division of the group army, can never fight with one division.  Of course, the White Guards did not actually launch an attack at this moment, but only began to use artillery to bombard the Soviet Red positions and concealed artillery positions.
